  1. Tesla Shares Tank Further After Share Sell-Off; Musk Seeks New Investors in Twitter [Click] The stock market is hypochndriac; I don’t see that the actual value of Tesla has likely changed. But it would be a good idea to bring Herbert Diess on board as CEO.

    1. This explains why Musk is allowing banned journalists and others back into the platform. He needs more funding sources.

  2. Republican Party Masochists

    Wall Street Journal editorial: “If a Martian arrived in Washington this week not knowing who had won the November election, he’d be forgiven for thinking it was the Democrats. Usually the losers are in disarray, but not this time.”
    “Democrats in the House minority have completed a seamless change of House leadership to a younger generation with little internal dissent. But Republicans, who ostensibly won the majority, can’t even find the votes to elect a GOP Speaker, much less agree on budget strategy or much of anything else.”

    Biden Delivering on Trump’s Unfulfilled Promises
    December 17, 2022 at 7:29 am EST By Taegan Goddard

    Associated Press: “Donald Trump pledged to fix U.S. infrastructure as president. He vowed to take on China and bulk up American manufacturing. He said he would reduce the budget deficit and make the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.”
    “Yet after two years as president, it’s Joe Biden who is acting on those promises. He jokes that he’s created an ‘infrastructure decade’ after Trump merely managed a near parody of ‘infrastructure weeks.’”

  3. The thing about written words, which is what we see on twitter, is that they are inherently worthless, just like speech or currency, inventions and creations of the human brain and are only valuable to the extent that the entity that produces them is trustworthy.
    U.S. currency is valued because the people in whose name it is issued keep their commitments (word). Crypto currency, like the Confederate dollar, is without value because the issuers lied.
